I think 9/11 was a result of the Bush Administration. You all voice your opinions, this is mine.

If Obama wins the election and both senate and house will be controlled by the democrats what do you think will happen to America? A socialist country?

With the help of a Democratic Congress (the last 2 years). The first years of Bush was okay until the Democrats took over Congress.

- - This do nothing Congress needs to be booted out now!

Frank, Todd, Pelosi and company ruined our country when they took over.

- And a few more of their cronies!

Hopefully they will put an end to the war ! The Republicans are war mongers.

Okay your opinion is fine but what are you basing it on? Just remember Bush was only President for LESS than 8 months when 911 happened. Like I've stated before if something had been done in 1995 (Clinton Administration) when they put the bomb in the Trade Center maybe the real thing may not have happened. Just a thought. But it was all pushed aside as nothing important. And that is my opinion. Just something to thing about.

Thats not an answer

....How would have Gore have stopped 9/11????

 

[loveminis]

I am not willing to debate at this time. I just voiced my opinion. There are some who do not agree with you who are against Obama. Why don't you do some research yourself based on facts not lies.

I am outta here - going to to work. BYE

Well, like I said, I know that millions of Americans felt like I did on 9/11. Thank God we have Bush in office and not Al Gore. I still feel that way and history will show him to be a better president than the current media might make it seem.

Jill,

I agree 100% on that!

Socialism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating social or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society.

All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly, although there is considerable disagreement among socialists over how, and to what extent this could be achieved.

Added for the dictionary definition - - To place under government control. To convert to the needs of society.

Nobama - His planned change - "Share the wealth"

I'm well aware what socialism is, thank you.

I found this on the Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/greg-mitchel...t_b_102471.html

Obama supporters, naturally, are excited about word today that one of the world's richest men, Warren Buffett -- the sage of Omaha -- has thrown his support to the Democratic frontrunner, although it's not likely to put Nebraska in the win column for Obama this November.
But why does Buffett like Barack? And why now? The wire service reports only reveal that Buffett announced an endorsement of Obama because he looks like the nominee: "I will be very happy if he is elected president. He is my choice." Not exactly food for thought.

But to find out more, I discovered a May 5, 2008, on-the-fly interview with Buffett carried by CNBC.

The interviewer, Becky Quick, asked Buffett to pretend for a moment that she was John McCain. She then asked, "Is there anything I can do, any economic issue I can get behind, that would actually make you think twice about potentially supporting me?"

Buffett replied: "I would say that if you felt the tax burden should be shifted in a significant way to the super-rich and away from the middle class, I would say that would make me re-evaluate you."

Quick/McCain: "So I could eventually gain your support come November?"

Buffett: "Well, in the end I vote on issues now. I think it's pretty clear in many major areas what all three candidates would do."

Then he said, chuckling, that it was "unlikely" he would back McCain "unless he has a serious change, a lobotomy or something like that."

Buffett explained: "I don't think McCain is going to change his views to be in accord with mine. I admire him a lot. I think he's an absolutely first-class human being, and if the Republicans are going to elect somebody I hope it's John McCain.

"But he has too many ideas that are different than I do, particular in terms of what I would call social justice."

I have not seen Obama - or anyone else - suggesting a complete socialist makeover.

The first years of Bush was okay until the Democrats took over Congress.

With all due respect - the first 6 years of the Bush Administration was not "okay". Even many Republicans would agree with that. And NO congress can undo in 2 years - or even make much of a dent in - the 6 years prior to that... with the same administration still in power.

Whoever wins this election will NOT be able to fix in 4 years all the damage that has been done in the past 8. Just looking at the debt, the Bush Administration incurred a faster/greater percentage of debt in that time frame than any previous administration - even many of them put together.

That is far from "okay". http://www.cedarcomm.com/~stevelm1/usdebt.htm

From the time Bush comes into office on that graph, the line zooms upward steeply.

The numbers are verified across many sites - but that graph is easier to understand than columns of figures - for non-accountant types like me!

Tagalong - I agree 110% with you.
